ArchiCAD, Revit and QM in the construction industry

During the course, you will learn the functions of ArchiCAD, a program specially developed for architecture, to create complex drawings, as well as how to use Revit to evaluate surfaces and derive drawings and plans based on a 3D building model. You will also learn all key aspects of quality management in the construction industry and the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in your profession.

Changes are possible. The course content is updated regularly.

Knowledge of quality-related activities is recommended.

Once you have completed the course, you will be able to use the parametric architecture solution Revit Architecture quickly and confidently. This program supports 2D design and 3D modeling through to the component-oriented building model with quantity and cost calculation.

You will use the CAD program ArchiCAD to routinely create complex drawings and models.

You will also have basic knowledge of planning, documenting and monitoring quality standards throughout the construction phase.

The course is aimed at people with knowledge of (civil) engineering or architecture as well as specialists from related sectors with appropriate professional experience.

Architectural and engineering offices as well as various companies in the construction industry are possible future fields of application.

Your meaningful certificate provides a detailed insight into the qualifications you have acquired and improves your career prospects.

Didactic concept

Your lecturers are highly qualified both professionally and didactically and will teach you from the first to the last day (no self-study system).

You will learn in effective small groups. The courses usually consist of 6 to 25 participants. The general lessons are supplemented by numerous practical exercises in all course modules. The practice phase is an important part of the course, as it is during this time that you process what you have just learned and gain confidence and routine in its application. The final section of the course involves a project, a case study or a final exam.

 

Virtual classroom alfaview®

Lessons take place using modern alfaview® video technology - either from the comfort of your own home or at our premises at Bildungszentrum. The entire course can see each other face-to-face via alfaview®, communicate with each other in lip-sync voice quality and work on joint projects. Of course, you can also see and talk to your connected trainers live at any time and you will be taught by your lecturers in real time for the entire duration of the course. The lessons are not e-learning, but real live face-to-face lessons via video technology.

 

The courses at alfatraining are funded by Agentur für Arbeit and are certified in accordance with the AZAV approval regulation. When submitting a Bildungsgutscheinor Aktivierungs- und Vermittlungsgutschein, the entire course costs are usually covered by your funding body.
Funding is also possible via Europäischen Sozialfonds (ESF), Deutsche Rentenversicherung (DRV) or regional funding programs. As a regular soldier, you have the option of attending further training courses via Berufsförderungsdienst (BFD). Companies can also have their employees qualified via funding from Agentur für Arbeit (Qualifizierungschancengesetz).
